Hi.
Today i swapped out an intel i3 4330 i had and put in a new intel g3258 with a new stock cooler.
Windows booted up fine, everything works, windows 10 automatically installed the drivers. But the pc seems laggy. The mouse stutters(?) when i move it around, sites take longer to load, general snappiness is gone. I know the i3 4330 is better but it ain't about that. It seems buggy or something. youtube is laggy too. video is choppy. selects 360p when it always used to select 1080p.
switching tabs also laggy.
I tried downloading drivers from intel page, downloaded them, but still the same.
What should I do now?
Thanks.

specs
intel pentium g3258 @ stock speeds
gigabyte z87m-d3h bios version f11 (08/12/14)
8gb ddr3 (2x4)
using on board graphics

Is the cooler seated correctly? and did you correctly apply the thermal paste. It could be severely throttling due to heat issues. And i would say under those circumstances a pc could act as you describe.
 
I changed the cpu so i could use it in my gaming build.
I have used the default cooler, the thermal paste is already applied on the cooler. I am sure it is seated properly. Is there a way i can test it or see if the temps are running fine?

You can check temps with software like coretemp.
 
you went from a more powerful cpu to a lesser powerful cpu

just my guess

edit: oh wait your on board graphics are different for the 2 cpu need to update that
 
Wrong drivers (chipset specifically).

Funky bios settings (try load defaults and reselect xmp profile)

Overheating (least likely IMO).


Easiest way to rule out a hardware issue would be back up everything and format.
 
Ok.
So i should
Reset bios settings
Select xmp profiles again.
Download which drivers? Im confused about this. I thought i dl'd the new drivers? Or was i meant to uninstall others?
Thanks for the replies.
 
im going to guess the issue is with the integrated gpu.....
try a fresh windows install.... or clean gpu drivers install, as your using integrated the drivers might be the wrong ones for the cpu swap you did as the integrated graphics are on the cpu....

They are both the same hd4600 but at diffrent max frequency, does look like a graphics issue.
 
Ok. I ran intel cpu diagnostic tool. It failed on the cpu temp part and it says to check thermal paste. I downloaded realtemp and it said my cpu is at 98 celcius
-_-
I opened up my case and the stock heatsink was hot.
